Re: Gear That Everybody Seems To Love But You Don't

Re: Advice wanted: Gibson r8

Most of the Standard's I've had were around the $3k mark, but that was a few years back. Most second hand ones seem to be $500-$1k higher priced than that nowadays

Re: Advice wanted: Gibson r8

Oh this is Chopper. Had a little hissy fit on the forum earlier this year. He bought it off another forumite and didn't appreciate us suggesting that he was flipping for profit (although with very limited success). I'd personally steer clear. Yeah he bought it from me, I sold it to him for a god pr...

Re: Ceriatone Amps

They seem to great amps that are very well made, I've owned the SSS 100w. Customer service from Nick was top notch too, no complaints and would happily purchase from them again :thumbup:

Re: YouTube goodness

Man she was good. Again, another artist I grew up with but never really appreciated when they were around. She is 20 years old here, I can't imagine me knowing any of these chords at that age (hell, probably even now), let alone linking them all together seamlessly and singing over the top of them :...

Re: Bassists - Great Tone

Pete Trewavas instantly comes to mind, always interesting without ever overplaying. Always seems to have a nice smooth tone and he seems to like alternating between playing with a pick or fingers

Re: YouTube goodness

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS6lMx8uxFQ His new album, Council Skies, is excellent. Yeah, this is great and I'm only about halfway through it. So much to enjoy, from his stories about recording with Marr and his LP that he wrote 'Stand By Me' on I feel like I have a permanent smile on my face. ...

Re: Megadeth Megadeth

I was into them when Marty was handling guitar duties, Id just started college when Youthanasia came out and I think I pretty much played that CD until it was scratched to buggery. Always liked the tightness of their playing and dryness of their sound; back in the UK in the mid 90's you were either ...
